So what's the big deal about a heated debate about hotly debated discussion topic? If you're unable to handle it or willing to participate, common sense would suggest that you can ignore it instead of whining or crying about it.
If I participate in a thread, I start by actually reading the posts and when I contribute I like to contribute more than just one word "Welcome" as you do without addressing any of the questions.
I'm far less redundant than your single "Welcome" . I'm surprised you haven't put in your signature yet !!That's the extent of what you learned due to the extent of your bias and inability to handle contested topics, so you simply not only chose to ignore, you try to bully others into ignoring the topic you don't like/
Of course you are entitled to derail threads you don't like by even attacking the topic. You're a guitar player right? I know how big of an ego some of those guys can have, many of my friends are guitar players.
However, you might want to get back to the topic of this thread and maybe explain some of the advantages that the kemper has that made you buy the Kemper, even if you had bought it just because it was actually significantly cheaper That would actually count as some respect to forum rules and also those who started this thread who are also entitled to discuss whatever they feel like as long as it doesn't violate forum rules and guidelines.
1. I'm neither whining nor crying. Just stating that this thread is utterly useless. Can you actually read?
2. Where I come from and with the education I got, 'Welcome' is never redundant. In a thread used for new Kemper users to introduce themselves my 'Welcome' helps establish a warm welcome culture for new participants. Clearly you seem to lack the social skills to realise that.
Otherwise please point me to some other thread where I used 'Welcome' or any redundancy for that matter.
All in all I have a track record of 15.000 posts in the Kemper forum since 2012, for more than six years, and I'm proud to say that I helped a lot of users by trying to post (mostly) thoughtful and balanced posts and helped this forum become a fountain of information and a home for Kemper enthusiasts all the same.
I'm afraid the same cannot be said about you.
3. As for the 'derailing a thread' issue, please go ahead and count again, alone in this thread, how many posts you did which were not on topic.
I did only one, stating that this thread is utterly useless, which is an opinion I'm entitled to. You already responded to it, but found it obviously necessary to cite and try to jump on me again several times (otherwise I wouldn't even have posted again).
So you clearly derailed this topic more than me.
4. BTW I think @fredrikn is man enough to get over my sentiment that 'this thread is useless' which I stand by. You like to heat things up, don't you?
5. And just because you cited me for the THIRD time in this thread the same should be said to you: Get over it already.
6. @barefly: Thanks for your defence, much appreciated.
